Design Faster. Think Deeper. AI Workflows Built for Real L&D Work

Learning and development (L&D) leaders are wrestling with how to bring artificial intelligence (AI) into the design process without losing the expertise and judgment their team brings to the work. In this session, we’ll walk through a repeatable co-design approach for storyboards, scenarios and job aids showing where AI genuinely accelerates the work and where experienced designers add the most value.
Join Jennifer Bell, leader, and Adam Lamb, senior instructional designer, from Neovation Custom Learning. They’ve spent years partnering with organizations to turn complex, messy content into training that changes how people perform. They bring that same design-first lens to AI, using these tools daily inside real production workflows. Expect practical insight grounded in craft — the kind of session that sends you back to your team with ideas you can actually use.
You’ll walk away from this interactive, practical session with:
- A repeatable workflow for drafting storyboards, scenarios and job aids with AI — while keeping the quality your team is known for
- Simple ways to review AI output for what really counts: objectives, accuracy, tone and accessibility
- Honest guidance on where AI helps your designers and where their instincts still make the difference
- Clarity on which AI tools fit where, so your team builds with confidence instead of bouncing between platforms
- Practical tools your team can use immediately — a storyboard prompt pack, scenario worksheet, and AI output review checklist
